1. Favourite restaurant

Portfolio

Judith van Doorn: "My brother and I celebrate our birthdays every year by having a good dinner out and then we toast our mother who died far too young in 2013. The highlight was Portfolio on Prinsestraat. Not cheap, but so delicious. Unforgettable."

📍Prinsestraat 36

2. Best ice cream parlour

IJssalon Fanielje

Judith: "As a true resident of The Hague, I have a favourite ice cream parlour in every neighbourhood. Since I live in Leidschenveen, it's IJssalon Fanielje on Sluisplein. The ice cream is delicious and from the terrace you can watch the boats moor."

📍Sluisplein 6

3. Favourite cake shop

Koekela

Judith: "Koekela on Laan van NOI has the most delicious cakes. The Chocolate Truffle Mousse Cake is finger-licking good. And what's also nice, Koekela has cake that is both gluten- and plantbased."

📍Laan van Nieuw Oost-Indië 94

4. Best cocktail bar

Strandpaviljoen Zuid

Judith: "I don't often go to a cocktail bar, but the closest thing to it is Strandpaviljoen Zuid. Best place to have a delicious beach day finishing with a nice drink."

📍Zuiderstrand 3, afslag 11

5. Guilty pleasure

Pizzeria Donato

Judith: "Good pizza! We once happened to end up at Pizzeria Donato on Bezuidenhoutseweg this spring. Here we sat on the terrace by the Haagse Bos on the first beautiful sunny day. Delicious pizza and a fantastic atmosphere."
